We had a lot of fun yesterday at the The Beehive’s latest work session on the Beehive’s Community Art Project that will be installed in the new Jasper Public Library, Jasper, Indiana. During the 2019 Beehive gathering, many of you contributed to this public work by painting different areas on the panels with your own designs. We were impressed by all the talent and enthusiasm you all showed for this project!
Jasper is fortunate to have a great city arts program and is currently building the new Cultural Center in our downtown area, which will combine our public library with our city arts program and will include artist studios, classroom spaces, multiple galleries and shared public spaces. This large art piece will be installed in the main area of the new library. We are both very happy to be a part of the Beehive and are proud to help create this inspiring piece!
The first photo shows Clare sketching out the overlay designs, the second photo shows the final look of a section of the project after the overlay design was painted on, and the third photo is of the community-painted panel prior to the overlay work. The photo below is from the 2019 Beehive where members of the community were invited to paint on panels which will be installed in the new library upon its completion.
